Top Live Casino Games
Sports betting: markets and live betting
Football leads the way, as you would expect for fans in Rwanda: the Rwanda Premier League with clubs such as APR FC, Rayon Sports and Police FC, Amavubi matches, AFCON, the Champions League and the big European leagues, including the Premier League, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, home to Arsenal, PSG and Bayern Munich, the clubs that carry «Visit Rwanda». Top matches come with a wide range of markets: match result, double chance, Asian handicap, total goals, correct score, corners and cards.
Live betting is the strong point: odds that update by the second, real-time statistics and partial or full cash out so you can settle your bet before the final whistle. Beyond football, there is tennis, basketball, volleyball, cricket, ice hockey, MMA, esports (CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends) and virtual sports at any time of day. Our sports betting guide explains the markets and cash out in detail.
Deposits and withdrawals in Rwanda
Deposits and withdrawals are made via mobile money; the cashier shows the methods available in Rwanda and the minimum amount for each one. MTN MoMo and Airtel Money are the most common wallets in the country, but only the cashier shows which methods are offered on your account. Full details are on the payment methods page.
Is CaptainsBet legal in Rwanda?
CaptainsBet operates under an international Curaçao licence. It is not licensed by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), which regulates gambling under Law N° 58/2011 and the National Gambling Policy of October 2024 through the National Lottery and Gambling Commission. Licensing resumed on 1 August 2025, and in July 2026 the RDB licensed operators such as Betway, ElephantBet and ForteBet.
In practice, this means the platform is not covered by the protections of Rwanda’s licensing system, such as RDB oversight of operators and complaints handled by the national regulator. Enforcement against unlicensed operators is also tightening.
Check which operators hold an RDB licence on the RDB’s official channels, and read our guide on whether CaptainsBet is legal in Rwanda before you decide where to play.
Responsible gambling
Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. Your account has tools to set deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits and temporary or permanent self-exclusion. Set them before you start, not after a run of losses, and only bet money you could lose completely, never money for rent, school fees or repaying a mobile money loan.
If gambling no longer feels like a pastime, talk to a doctor or your local health centre. Specialist help is available at Ndera Neuropsychiatric Teaching Hospital in Kigali, and the Rwanda Biomedical Centre free line 114 can point you to health services. More on our responsible gambling page. 18+ only.
